Honey Sesame Soba Noodles

Soba (buckwheat) noodles tossed in a honey sesame sauce making for a quick and simple take-out style meal! This dish only takes 20 minutes. You can make a bigger batch to last several meals!

The veggies I used in this dish are broccoli, red bell peppers and carrots! To add some protein, I picked edamame to toss with this dish! If you like the two flavors of sesame and honey, you’ll be a big fan of this sauce! I used some cashew butter to give it a more creamy taste. This sauce can even be used to cook your favorite proteins like tofu or chicken!

Sesame seeds were added on top for a hint of crunchy texture – they are a great source of healthy fats, vitamins and minerals! They work well on top of dishes like this or grounded into a tahini paste!

Soba noodles are brown, flat and thin. It’s mainly made with buckwheat flour and water, sometimes with added wheat flour. Soba is the Japanese name for buckwheat! There’s a dish called Zaru Soba served with a soy sauce based dipping sauce – typically served cold.

I don’t cook asian dishes too often even though I grew up eating it. I find my cooking to be more like rice, quinoa, potatoes, roasted veggies, meats with different sauces, soups, etc. I don’t do too many stir fries or soy sauce foods. It’s always comforting having those flavors again! This has a more westernized taste to the dish.
